| | chicago is so 2 years ago - fallout boy | ] |
So I have an update on the BBQ as of now, or at least of what I can remember right now:
Meat - check (Jenni)
Paper stuff - check (Me)
Pop - check (Gary)
cookies - check (Me)
S'mores stuff - check (Kristalynn)
Buns - check (Jill)
chips - check (Jill)
Beer - check (Craig)
I think that Abi is bringing a veggie tray? Maybe? I think? And Kris is bringing... potato salad? Is that right? Please let me know if you still haven't decided what to bring and I will help you figure it out! This means everyone! You are not allowed unless you bring something!!
KRISTALYNN!!! I watched What A Girl Wants the other day and then decided to download the songs on the soundtrack by Oliver James (the cute boy) but when I got to my computer I forgot his name, so I just downloaded songs from the soundtrack. Guess what was on it! "Chicago Was So 2 Years Ago" - by Fallout Boy!!
I was excited and I thought of you!
For another important newsbreak: Cedar Point has been moved to June 2nd-3rd. Since that is only a few weeks away, we need to know NOW if you are coming! And remember that you can bring other friends if you want! The more the merrier, but know that there will only be 2 people per bed (unless otherwise discussed and approved by a third party and the first two parties already having dibs on that bed.) But other than that, NO EXCEPTIONS!!
Act now! Time is running out!
Just to point out, spellcheck helped me discover that I had written "cockies - check" hmm...

Wow! Ok! So!
I talked tonight with AJ about the Rascal Flatts concert and its a go. It's Saturday, June 11th, at DTE, $31.50 for lawn seats. Please let me know if you want to come so that we can figure out how many tickets to buy. You should be able to have the money n 2-3 weeks I suppose?
I also would love to go back to Mackinac this summer. Trace talked about there being boat races and I thought they might be fun to watch. So I figured that July 21st-24th would be good? It's during the Port Huron to Mackinac races, and is a Thursday through Saturday. I liked the place where we camped last year so maybe we could stay there again? I still have to call and find out how much it is per night, unless someone remembers, in which case let me know.
Also! I want to go to Cedar point again. I love roller coasters and it will be fun. HOWEVER!! If you want to go, you need to let me know and pay on time because there will be no repeats of the sleeping disaster from last year!! None! But I figured we could go on a Tuesday or Wednesday again, it worked out well. Since July will be the big Mackinac trip and its way to hot in August to go, does June work? Say, perhaps, June 22nd-23rd? Or, if Jill wants to go to both the Rascal Flatts concert and Cedar Point, maybe we could do it all at once. So either the 7th-8th, or the 14th-15th?
Please let me know what you guys all think! I know it seems like a lot, but... well, I guess it kind of is. But you all know that we would spend just as much money every weekend that we have nothing to do and decide to party in K-zoo or something. So I figured that if we planned a few big trips, we would all be saving for those and spend less money on other weekends that we are just bored. Well, its 3 a.m. and I have to work tomorrow, so I'm off to bed. Night all!!
P.S. All dates are subject to change upon majority opinions, with the exception of the Rascal Flatts concert. ~ The End |

So... in case you missed it, this weekend will be the time to say goodbye to me a I move home for a while. The short story is, Sallie Mae are a bunch of fuckers and I hate them for life. They were supposed to send Western my student loan check in October. They sent it December 22nd. BUT! Not for the amount it was supposed to be for, but $700 less. Western just processed the check yesterday, and only because I called them twice and told them that Sallie Mae did send the check, and that they (Western) should check they're unprocessed funds again. That is when I found out that until I come up with the extra $700, I can't register for classes. I have a $200 check from Kohl's due this Friday, but my parents don't have the rest of the money to help me out. So this weekend when Gary comes up to visit, he will be taking me home with him. I'm really sad right now. I just got here, and now I have to leave.
I will do my best to come and visit, and since I will have access to a car for a while, it will work out. But I guess this is goodbye to Western until the fall when I can return. |

So. At work, I always bring a can of spaghettios for lunch and a twinkie for every break that I get that day. Everyone at work thinks this is the funniest thing in the world. They think that just because I bring something that has a lot of sugar in it to keep me awake all day and I happen to like Twinkies, that I cannot live without them. They insist on telling everyone that all I ever eat is spaghettios and Twinkies and that if I don't get my ration of spaghettios and Twinkies per day, than I will just die or something.
Ok, that was all the background information that you needed for the rest of this. Sue keeps joking and saying that she is going to start calling me *Twinkie* and that she is going to make me a new name badge that says *Twinkie* on it instead of Mary. Jeremiah, thinking it was hilarious, is actually calling me *Twinkie*. And he asked our Loss Prevention guy if he can really make me a new name badge saying *Twinkie* on it. Normally, this guy would say yes and be joking, really saying no. BUT! He said yes, and meant it.
Work was alright today, I got a lot of stuff done in my department that needed to get done. Now its midnight and jeremiah didn't call me tonight like he promised, but oh well. I'l see him tomorrow. That's all folks! Lata!
P.S. The only reason I am not getting a *Twinkie* name badge is because by the time they made it, I would only be able to wear it to work for one day. But I have been promised that if, when I return in the spring, I am still eating spaghettios and Twinkies, I will get a name badge that says *Twinkie* on it. ~ The real end.
P.P.S I picked my mood, simply because it's hilarious!!! ~ The real real end. |

Not too much going on tonight. I just got home from the movies with my sister. Blade Trinity was pretty good, we both liked it. Now I'm talking to Jeremiah on the phone and Jill online. Maybe I'll call her when I'm off the phone, I haven't talked to Jill in a while and I need to hear her voice. Yay!! Jill made her new icon of me! Well, it's a picture of me and her, but it's me! Umm, tired as hell so i think I'm going to head to bed. I have to work tomorrow, again. Well, that's all folks! Lata!
P.S. This entire post was completely random and while each sentence makes sense, they don't particularly fit together as a similar subject. ~ The real end. |

I know, I know... I never post anything. I told you last time, you guys should remind me because I forget. Christmas was good, even though I knew everything I was getting. I even wrapped most of my own presents, which I think is extremely hilarious. But here is a list of my presents, because I know you are all wondering:
Turtle jewelry box!
Turtle bracelet!
Turtle necklace!
Turtle thong!
Turtle slippers!
China doll from Grandma
Watch
Sweater
Another bracelet (a Christmas one, not a turtle)
Gift cards
And a whole bunch of DVD's:
The Secret Garden
It
A Walk in the Clouds
Dangerous Minds
Mrs. Winterbourne
Son-in-law
Grumpy Old Men
Kiss the Girls
Legends of the Fall (but not the prequel, sorry jen)
Badder Santa (from Gary, you fucker)
BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOUR!! (also from Gary, who is great for giving me Ron White for Christmas, but still a fucker for wrapping my movies in 3 layers of duck tape!) (fucker)
Well, its late and I have to be up in less than 4 hours. I have to work all day, but at least I'll get to see this really cute guy who I work with. His name is Jeremiah, and he's really cute. So, I'm off to bed, and maybe jeremiah and I will actually do something after work tomorrow instead of just standing in the freezing cold talking. Or maybe, I'll actually ask him for his phone number. That would prolly be a good idea huh? Well, that's all folks!! Lata! |

SO!!! I know that I have been M.I.A. for a while now, but with a very good reason. I spent the last week of school studying nonstop for finals, and it has payed off!
Please note some background information: I was on academic probation this semester and had to bring my GPA above a 1.59 in order to have one more semester to bring it above a 2.0 and stay at Western. In calculating my grade in English 112, Literary Classics, I need a 90% on my final in order to pass. And I got my Philosophy grade right away, so I knew that. Figuring there was no way I could pass my Engl. 112 final, I was counting on my English 107, Good Books, final to get me through. I needed to get a BA in order to make the GPA thing add up to above a 1.59. WELL!!!!!
ENGL 107 - A!!!!
ENGL 112 - D!!!!
PHIL 200 - DC!!!!
I got an A on my Literary Classics final!! I never actually thought I could get that!! AND!!! I got an A in Good Books!!! Having a BA before the final, I not only got an A on my final, but also on my paper which I worked so hard on!!!!!! Even though I could have done better had I tried during the entire semester instead of just the last week, I am happy that all my cramming and late nights and non-stop, round the clock, studying paid off.
I'm sorry I don't have time to tell you all more about my life after finals right now, but need to get some sleep for 9 more hours of working tomorrow.
****Side note: 2 paragraphs above this, I said "hard on".**** |

So why is it that I am so damn unapproachable to all of you? Are we that bad of friends with each other that you can't tell me the truth anymore? Because I value my friendships and I feel that a lot of emphasis is placed on trust, at least for me it is. And if you can't even trust me enough to tell me the truth about things, good or bad, then what are we doing being friends? Not that I don't want to be friends with you, because I do, I love you all like family, but how can you call yourself my friend if you can't be honest with me? Are you afraid of me or something? Do you think that I would hate you for telling me something that I don't like? What is it about me that makes it so frightening for all of you to talk to me? Why is it that whenever something happens, you don't want to tell me the truth because you think I might get mad? People get mad all the time, it happens. You get mad, I get mad, the Pope can even get mad. But why can't you suck it up and tell me exactly what you want to say? Strangers can lie, cheat, and steal, but I expect more out of all of you. I expect you to be the friends I know you are, and tell it like it is. That is your job as a friend, and if you can't handle that, then we have no business being friends.
So from now on, I want you to be completely honest with me. Stop being afraid that you will hurt my feelings or make me mad. Because honestly, it hurts even more and makes me even madder when you, people who are supposed to be my friends, can't even face me. You people piss me off and make me cry even more when you make it seem as if you telling me the truth will make me hate you. It hurts my feelings even more when you don't have the courage to stand up to me, because I thought you all knew me better than that.
I have been thinking about this for quite some time, and I thought that I should tell you all exactly how I feel. Maybe then, you can all give me the same courtesy. |

I love this movie!!!!
Everyone remembers the 'faked-orgasm-in-a-deli'
sequence from your kind of movie When Harry Met
Sally. It seems that you're falling for a buddy
or have already fallen for them. Uh-oh. You're
probably caught between the possibility of
having a great relationship and wrecking the
one you have now. You know what they say, it's
better to regret something you did than
something you didn't do.

So here I am, sitting at home with nothing to do on this glorious Saturday. I could be at Western with a bunch of great people, eating lunch, watching movies, and ignoring my homework. Instead I am here, with my parents, the dog won't stop biting me, We have no food in the house, and everytime I pick up one of the books I'm supposed to read for class, the dog jumps on my head because she wants to play.
On the bright side! Since a certain cousin who visits Western a lot and shall remain nameless **COUGH**GARY** dropped my phone and now the battery doesn't want to stay in, my mom is activating one of her old phones and I can have that one until I get my new one for Christmas. It is a flip phone and it is better than mine and I like it.
Well, that's all folks! Lata!
PS
So, how is your weekend going? |
